90 heroes for The International it is

Valve has announced that until The International, which is in 5 weeks, no new heroes will be released. This way, we stay at 90 heroes exactly.

Nyx Assassin, Keeper of the Light and Visage were the last three hereos to implemented in the Dota 2 client. They are the heroes 88, 89 and 90 to be included. Only 18 heroes remain, but they will not be included before The International.

Valve Dota 2 Blog post:

"With The International arriving in just over a month, we want to give the competing teams some time to practice with a stable Hero roster, and as few new bugs from us as possible."

Hero development will continue in the background, of course, but releases will be stalled until September.
